The Sunday Scoop: Near Miss for Adam Levy
Jul 19th
As usual PokerStars drew the largest crowd of online players with over 14,000 runners in the Sunday Million, Sunday 500, Sunday Warm-up and Sunday Second Chance alone. ROMDOM outlasted 8,026 players in the Sunday Million and then beat Frank “gator93″ Hernandez to secure a $225,408 payday, although there was a two-way chop. Former Heartland Poker Tour winner William “punisher03″ Givens beat a field of 1,416 to win $51,202. Meanwhile Full Tilt was hosting its $1 Million Guaranteed Rush Poker event. Ben “kidcardiff” Warrington outlasted all 1,584 entrants for a tidy $185,000 profit but perhaps the bigger story involved Adam “Roothlus” Levy.

The World Series of Poker main event is down to three tables — 27 players — and is just a day from reaching a final table. Two players eclipsed 20 million chips after the day of play Joseph “subiime” Cheong and Cuong Nguyen. Cheong is more known for his online play but has also won a WSOP Circuit event, earlier this year. Nguyen cashed the 2008 main event for just over $20K, which is his largest live cash. Here are the final 27: Joseph Cheong, 24,490,000 Cuong Nguyen, 23,100,000 Pascal LeFrancois, 17,780,000 Jason Senti, 13,550,000 Matthew Jarvis, 13,300,000 Matt Affleck, 12,515,000 Jonathan Duhamel, 10,520,000 John Racener, 10,470,000 Filippo Candio, 10,020,000 Benjamin Statz, 9,885,000 Robert Pisano, 8,060,000 Michiel Sijpkens, 7,765,000 Duy Le, 7,255,000 Scott Clements, 7,250,000 David Baker, 6,825,000 Michael Mizrachi, 6,300,000 Brandon Steven, 6,045,000 Adam Levy, 4,745,000 William Thorson, 3,680,000 Redmond Lee, 3,315,000 Mads Wissing, 3,070,000 Ronnie Bardah, 2,525,000 Matthew Bucaric, 2,270,000 John Dolan, 2,175,000 Patrick Eskandar, 1,655,000 Johnny Lodden, 1,560,000 Hasan Habib, 1,510,000 Notables among the players who are left include Mizrachi, the $50K Players Championship winner earlier this WSOP. He’s the most accomplished player left in the field, but is at a disadvantage in chips to much of the remaining field.

The final days of the 2010 World Series of Poker Championship Event are drawing nigh, with only 78 players left to decide the next World Champion . Play on Thursday started with 205 runners, led by Canada’s Evan Lamprea , but the true story of the action at the WSOP Main Event sat further down the Top Ten. After not appearing for many of the preliminary events, two time WSOP Main Event winner Johnny Chan came to the felt with a vengeance.

UKIPT Brighton: Fish and chips
Jul 15th
Oooo, we do like to be beside the seaside, we do like to be beside the sea! Yes, that’s right we’re at the seaside surrounded by deckchairs, seagulls and sticks of teeth rotting rock as the UKIPT hits destination six; Brighton. Although we’re currently enjoying a typical British summer with grey moody clouds and gusty winds making it near impossible to walk in an easterly direction down the promenade, we are due to see the sun making a guest appearance from tomorrow . Other celestial bodies showing their faces here at the Rendezvous Casino for the £1,000 main event include Team PokerStars Pros Jude Ainsworth and Julian Thew. Unfortunately for us, and fortunately for him, fellow Team PokerStars Pro JP Kelly is unable to make it here as he’s currently wedged under a huge wedge of chips in some tournament or other called the World Series of Poker Main Event.
